So glad to have you back...
🙂
I was 108 and the 18th like! Just sayin..
1. 6:05 Use a limited set of 2 to 4 shading directions
2. 8:15 Practice on simple 3D geometric forms
3. 14:07 Use the same technique on simple 3D shapes
4. 16:33 Applay it to shade more elaborate ink drawing
Shading is my strongest opponent currently. Thanks for this, Alphonso!
Would love to see more 15-20 min videos from yourself. You express your thought process in a way that I greatly appreciate.
The Man is back! We missed you!
Missed making content for you all 🙂
I loved the way you demonstrated shading by putting a piece of tracing paper over a more complex drawing. That was very helpful. Sometimes it's easy to grasp a concept on a simple form but get a little lost when trying to apply it to a more challenging subject matter.
Alphonso, your choices of language and structure throughout videos are S-TIER amongst the tutorial world. Great stuff.
It would’ve been an interesting aid/demonstration for you to have a sheet of paper as the two dimensional front-facing object, add a shade gradient in vertical and horizontal lines, and then bend the paper itself into a tube and show it from different angles so we could see the line orientation change.
Nice idea
The best unintentional asmr
I really appreciate your teaching gift. Thank you for being on You Tube!
Would recommend using a fountain pen for ink drawing because you can get various thicknesses if you use it right
I think this video just changed my life
Ive had your books for ages. Its so good to have you back doing tutorials. I really found your teaching style works for me.
I've been inking for years and never had it demonstrated better. You taught me something today... thanks 😊
I hope someday people ask me if I had a mentor when I started drawing and I will be so glad to talk about you to them
This almost looks like math graphs
Thank you. I'm watching this to improve my linoleum carving. I'll practice.
I just finished a pen & ink assignment at school. I wish I would have had your video to help guide me. My lines were all over the place 😂. But, it sparked my interest in continuing to use this medium and style and to practice more on my own. My birthday is coming up this month and I am putting your books on my list as must haves. Your art is beautiful!! Thank you for your tutorials.
Thank goodness you’re back! I just bought both books and all I can say it AMAZING!! I’m new to pen & ink, I bought a few other books before I found yours, they do not compare. Thank you 🙏🏻💖
Brilliant tutorial! I have always struggled w with choosing the direction of the lines. I will use your tip to improve my pen drawings. You explain everything in the most comprehensive way. Thanks. Please do more short tutorials like this. 👍
I finally learned how to shade with ink pens with your technic, i have been suffering for a whole year and i finally learned how to to it, thank you so much man you rock!!
Clear and super helpful, as always. Thanks, Alphonso.
Thank you, Alphonso, for the clear and lucid explanation. Have a great week.
"Drawing is just an excuse to crosshatch". - R.Crumb :)
Thank you so much and super happy that you’re back! 🌈
Alphonso; once again, you are an amazing teacher. You help me so much by the knowledge you have of drawing, but more than that by your practical, lucidity with which you teach. You are a true master not only of your craft of drawing, but even more so with your craft of teaching. God Bless you, dar man.
It's so good to hear from you and thanks for the video I've been drawing in ink a lot more lately so I've been very curious about cross hatching
Have been searching forever for an explanation like this. Literally a couple of years, it never clicked until you broke it down. Much appreciated.
I'm in the process of getting a better understanding forms so that I can tackle Human anatomy. This helped so much! Thank you!
Watch his anatomy videos and practice gesture drawing often. Use lots of references
Sir Randall, you cannot imagine the happiness I felt seeing your notification. You’re the reason I started doing art in a place where no art schools are available…
This video is wonderful, Alphonso! Well done! I recently bought a glass dip pen - it can only do hatching or stippling (unless a brush is used.. but I really only wanted to use the pen alone) - and this is just what I needed! Thank-you so much for this video!! :)
Coming back again to refresh my memory. Alphonso, I apprechiate your teaching immensely. Thank you for sharing. 💛
Holy moly! Amazing video! Thanks Alphonso! ❤
Awesome video, thanks man. Explained it perfectly for me as a beginner in hatching!
Tracing over your completed hands really helped lock this down for me. It very starkly contrasted the "keep it simple" concept. Thank you!
Most excellent lesson Mr. Dunn !
Hey hey, I've been drawing for year's. In fact, it was your guides that got me into drawing with Fineliners/ technical pens. So I want to say thank you.
Thank you so much! This was VERY helpful. I've been looking for this kind of instruction for quite some time and haven't been able to find it in shading videos. The hand example really helped to bring the instruction on direction lines to life. Thanks again!
I'm very grateful for these lessons. Thank you, friend.
This is great! Thanks for being so informative and also for coming back
So easy to understand and yet so hard to accomplish, great lesson
Thank you so much Alphonso, this explanation was so helpful!
You have an amazing way of teaching. Thanks a bunch because of you my art improves a lot! I appreciate you a lot
So simple, but extremly helpfull! This really shows the simplicity - and that you dont have to get intimitated!
you're such a great teacher!! this was so helpful, def checking out your books
Point brilliantly illustrated !
A masterful explanation, by a master draftsman, and a master teacher. Thank you!
You're a good teacher bro. I didn't think about the diagonal warping. 😅
I am glad you made this video because I learned something new the other day that confused me even more contour hatching which I noticed those types of lines were in your book. Doing hair in ink still boggles my mind, especially really detailed dog hair.
Great video, thank you. I haven’t crosshatched ever before & I understood this completely.
This is brilliant it is the best ever I've ever seen hatching and shading explained so simply. I will get to work on it right away. Thank you for this video it's just brilliant
These little nuggets are SO good. Simple concepts that can be endlessly applied. Please keep them coming! PS love your books!
I was just thinking about this earlier on how to do cross-hatching, thank you for this.
Artist and Teacher Extraordinaire!
Thank you for this. I've brought your books early in the year but didn't start it yet. I need to get started on it.
It wasn't until the "counter example" at 19m45s that I really *got* it - for me, 3d is fine and the "bending the plane" is easy to visualize, "how would you *not* do that, isn't it obvious?" but then it clicked when you drew it the "wrong" way and I finally understood what the question was !
that was such an informing session! Thank you.
Great explanation. Clear. Helpful.
Awesome. Been waiting for this since I'm always confused about the direction. Thank you!
This is so helpful! Thank you for putting out this tutorial.
This unlocked something in my brain. Thanks. You're a genius.
Wonderful instruction; thanks so much for taking the time!
This concept was so helpful thank you very much
It's good to see another video from you again.
This was so helpful. Thank you a hundred times.
So glad to have find you!!!
This simplifies very much! Thank you
WOW!! This is SO helpful. I feel like you've given me the "magic key" I was missing. Now when I practice, I will have a good mental map to guide me, so practice can lead me to improvement (instead of frustration). THANKS SO MUCH! I have your books and am looking forward to working through them.
ABSOLUTELY!!! 😍🤩😇
That one is goldust! Thank you!
Thank you you art is amazingly beautiful
Thank you! I've been wondering how to this for months now and never did understand it. This has been such a huge help! 😭
I always had this question. Actually while making kids draw cross hatching they ask me many times which way they should go. Thanks so much for the video!
This method same with pencil? Great tutorial thankyou..you are best teacher on CZcams easy to understand I am a complete newbie at drawing and have watched lots of videos to learn .
Excellent lessons! Tyvm mr. Dunn! Helps allot! Cheers from Romania :)
Fantastic teacher.
Super video explaining three spacial directions for hatching. Simple. Keep it Simple. Loved this easy way to look at hatching. It seems so daunting before this video to me.
Thank you, I understand shading much better now.
Thank you Alphonso 🙏
Youre very welcome
Thank you! Thank you!
Perfect idea for a video.
